The 57th NAACP award was held on Feb 28 in Los Angeles. Honouring black excellence in the world of cinema and entertainment, including television, music, podcasting, the Entertainer of the Year award and others. The night was dominated by Ryan Coogler's Sinners, the front-runner of this award season.
With Michael B. Jordan winning the best actor award, Sinners won 13 awards after leading 18 nominations. Actor Miles Caton won for Outstanding Breakthrough Performance in a Motion Picture. Jordan also won the Entertainer of the Year award.
Accepting the award, Jordan said that he loves being Black as he paid tribute to his Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman.
“Y’all really don’t understand how much this means to me, being here. I used to come here when I was a kid, when I was about 15 years old, sneaking in through the back as best I could,” Jordan said.
“This is a place where I always felt encouraged, always felt like I was being celebrated and nourished. … You told me it was OK to keep going because I felt seen here, I felt comfortable, I felt the love. That’s why I love being here, and I love you guys so much. And I was thinking about lead actor, and I was thinking about what lead actor meant to me, and, honestly, I’ve got to dedicate this award to Chadwick Boseman.”
